The summer season is here, and it seems everyone is jetting off on holiday over the next few weeks.
Abu Dhabi International Airport is certainly set to be busy, particularly over the long weekend for Islamic New Year.
Looking for ways to beat the queue? Look no further than the city check-in desks in Abu Dhabi.
Available for those flying with Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, Egyptair, Etihad Airways and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, you can get your boarding pass and drop off your bags before you even step foot in the airport.
Here’s our quick guide to using the city check-in desks in Abu Dhabi this summer.
